#### Resolution

Follow the instructions below from the system guide on how to *Connect to a Proxy Server*. These instructions should be done only with a user's IT representative or system administrator:

1. Minimize the control software.
2. From Windows Start, open the Run dialog box.
3. Enter `cmd`, and then select **OK**.
4. Enter the following command:\
   C:\windows\System32\bitsadmin.exe /Util /SetIEProxy LocalSystem Manual\_proxy http\://: NULL
5. Replace http\://: with your proxy server address and proxy port and `NULL` with any bypasses.
6. Press **Enter** to run the command.
7. Power cycle the instrument. See [Power cycling the iSeq 100](https://knowledge.illumina.com/instrumentation/iseq-100/instrumentation-iseq-100-reference_material-list/000002289).
